Back Up (Cardio & Mat Moves premixes) HIIT 30/30

[Guest guest]

Kickbutt workout!  Yay.  I'm so happy, and it felt great.  I woke up with some awesome DOMS from yesterday.  Not crippling, but probably just the right amount.  And they are all over (minus core).  I wanted some core and a bit of cardio, but ended up with some major cardio, and loved it.  I started out with Tracie Long and did the 20 minute cardio premix.  I like this one okay.  Not wonderful, not bad.  I got a nice cardio boost from it, burned 282 calories with my average at 140 in the 23 minutes. 

I decided to take a chance and attempt a HIIT workout, telling myself I'd do just the first 15 minutes, and cut the drills a bit short.  Well, I did the whole she-bang, and loved it.  I did stop at a few of the drills around 5 seconds though.  I did little modifying, and kept my step at 2 risers.  Good stuff.  I burned 443 calories in 28 minutes with a whopping 160 for my average (I'm sure it helped going into the workout w/ an elevated heart rate already.

I then went back to Back Up, and did the Mat Moves.  I was trying to get some good ab-work, but this workout wasn't great for that.  It had some stretching, some back, bit of abs, and more stretching.  I did my own abs instead of stretching for a bit.

So, a great workout, and especially loved doing a HIIT.  It's been a LONG time!D
